Europe is facing its second heat wave in a week.
Last week’s “Cerberus” heat wave is making way for another, which Italian weather forecasters have named “Charon” – the ferryman in Greek mythology who carries souls to the underworld. Italy, Spain and Greece have already faced unrelenting heat for days, but the European Space Agency has warned that the heat wave is only just beginning. As a high pressure anticyclone pushes up from North Africa, temperatures in Europe are expected to come close to, or even breach, the continent’s record of 48.
Fires have also broken out on Tenerife, another of the Canary Islands, forcing around 50 people to evacuate and burning through around 60 hectares . In Greece, up to 150 firefighters are working on the scene with 40 fire engines, seven aircraft and four helicopters, trying to control a fire Kouvaras, about 27 km southeast of Athens. Wildfires are also raging in the Peloponnese and central Greece.
